Edwin had proposed in August that we all go to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (formerly the Humanitarian Bowl) in Boise, Idaho in December. Back in August, I didn't pay much attention to the idea because it was so far from bowl season. In early December, however, I happened to come across that original e-mail. I decided that I would love to get out of town to go to that bowl game. Edwin was still interested (and had previously already booked a room in Boise). Dan and Mindy also decided to go. And so we went to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
The trip turned out to be really fun. The game itself was an inexpensive ticket, and the game ended up being great. The result was a comeback victory for Ohio University over Utah State. After the game, we even got to walk on the famous blue "Smurf Turf" at Boise State's football stadium.
After the game, Dan, Edwin, Mindy and I went out to a few bars in Boise. We had a great time!
